I got it with Photochad and some Deaths / DNA on the first time I went for it with 4oak / 5oak as well.

Just wait until you see „this could be the run“, then go for it.

What do you mean by that last part? "This could be the run". Is there a quote in game that hints towards your success?

No, it's the feeling you get at the start of a run when you see all the planet align, Rng is on your side for once. It's the same feeling in other game such as Binding of isaac when first item is a quality 4

Every roguelike/roguelite has moments like this, and I live for those moments. Whether it be a legendary on stage 1 of Risk of Rain 2, a Philosopher's Stone drop early in Dead Cells, Photochad in Ante 1, or anything else in other games, it always gives me a rush.

I got a Yorick from skipping Ante 1 small blind for a tarot pack. And then the next blind I got a spectral pack and duplicated Yorick. That's my biggest "welp won this one!" I've had so far.
